What people have said about Ian:

Quotes

Ian’s monologues were well received by faculty - would be a strong addition to campus on and off stage.

-Sarah Lawrence College Admissions Report

Peterson’s monologue stood out as the comedic highlight of the show; not only did he deliver the lines with the same intuitive timing and affectations that had distinguished each of his jokes throughout the play, but he punctuated it with uproarious screams, falls, and sprints across the stage... Peterson’s performance was not only a feat of acting, but also endurance.

As an actor Ian has appeared in numerous productions where he commits to the character and to the performance. He is an eager participant who relishes in the creative process.

- Judge Luckey, Managing Artistic Director of PACT

Mr. Peterson’s talent on stage is strongly enhanced by his work ethic. Not only does he actively seek ways to improve his performance, he also has a maturity in theater awareness that I have rarely come across as a secondary Theatre instructor.

-Danette Bathauer, Menlo-Atherton Theatre Director

He is a natural performer and can play with equal prowess both the gallant leading man and the comedic character role.
